Jet of the Day - Satin Doll

Three Things You Don't Know About Satin Doll & Co.

Yes, we have our Etsy Profiles to give the buyers and sellers a little in depth information on the owner of an Etsy shop. But they do not go very in-depth, so, here are 3 things you don't know about the owner of Satin Doll & Co.

#1 My name: is Gaetana Parris. For some reason I've decided to leave my name off my profile and focus mainly on my background and the jewelry. The name Gaetana originates from Italy. My mother named me after a close friend of hers who was named Gaetana. I was lied to as a child and told Gaetana meant princess, (which is so wrong.) It actually comes from a city, Gaeta, in southern Italy.

#2 I taught myself to make jewelry. One day I just decided to make jewelry and my sister bought me a book that I barely skimmed through. I bought all the necessary supplies and started with earrings. I started selling earring at a vendor location in Brooklyn and they were a huge hit. From there I extended my jewelry making skills to bracelets and necklaces.

#3 I am from West Indian descent, which I think is the reason why I don't shy away from color! If you look at my shop, I have every color of the rainbow and maybe some that aren't included.

Hi there,We haven't really "met" to this point until now, I know more about you and I feel like a kindred spirit...this world would be SO BORING without COLOR so I also LOVE it and don't shy away from it, why would anyone(?) is what I'm thinking!!! Thanks for letting us know more about you and your creations,which are SO DYNAMIC!!
